Assess behaviours under conditions which behaviours most likely to occur. Stimulus control correlation b/w a stimulus and response. In abla-r, correct responses are reinforced and incorrect responses are followed by error-correction procedure. Client only passes abla-r in a level when client makes 8 consecutive responses. Latency of behaviour time b/w occurrence of stimulus and beginning of behaviour (reaction time) Quality is not a characteristic of behaviour, but it is a refinement.
